Support our treasured driver Ben as he recovers from a devastating accident—please donate to help him and his family.

Whangaparaoa, Auckland

He has already received numerous surgeries and will continue to have many more throughout his recovery process.

Gilmours North Shore are here for him throughout his rehabilitation journey, and we have set up this “Give a Little” page for him, so he can concentrate on getting better without financial worries for himself or his beloved family who are supporting him during this difficult time.

One of our treasured drivers, Ben was in a life changing, devastating accident this week while delivering to our valued customers.

Ben was tragically hit by a car from behind while he was getting stock out of the back of his truck, causing ben to receive horrific injuries.

Everyone knows that Ben is an extremely popular Team Member, is always bubbly, throwing jokes around and full of mischief and therefore we want to do everything we can to help him.

Please give a donation in support of Ben throughout this journey.

Update:

Ben has now been out of North Shore Hospital for two weeks and has been cherishing time with his wonderful friends and family. He’s working hard on getting up and mobile on his saved leg, showing incredible determination every day.

He’s currently spending time in Tauranga with his partner as he prepares to receive his new leg in the new year. There is truly nothing that can hold Ben back. The world is your oyster, Ben, and we are all so proud of your strength, resilience, and spirit.

Thank you all for your generosity and compassion towards Ben.
